Laravel Validation with or condition

Question

I have text box which will accept number or alphabets based on my requirements

Ex: 1234 - correct, abcd - correct, 123abc - wrong

So i need 'my_texbox' => 'alpha|numeric' as or condition but it was by default and condition.

Is there any way to achieve this other than custom validation?

Answer 1

You can try this

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;

and

$arr=['name'=>'123'];
$rule=['name'=>array('regex:/(?:^([^a-b]*)$|^([^0-9]*)$)/')];
$accept=Validator::make($arr,$rule);
dd($accept->fails());

Output

1234 - correct, abcd - correct, 123abc - wrong
